I've tossed around the idea of going to WordPress instead of the MT upgrade. Mostly I'd like to go to it because #1, you can password protect and #2, you can park a post at the top. Not that I have the inclination to do either of these very often, but you never know. If I have the capacity to do so, I might just feel a bit better about not sensoring myself as much.
Anyway, I know that our cpanel gives us the option. I'm just not sure how moving old posts & comments works, in addition to stylesheet. AND I'm not sure where to login once I do that. I might have more questions, but those come to mind first.
So, has anyone done it????

Migrating posts and comments is done by exporting from MT, and importing into wordpress using a script. Stylesheets you'll have to do by hand (or get some help).
If you need pointers on stylesheets and stuff then give me a shout

The only problem is that it's not multi-blog (yet), so if we went Wordpress in a big way we'd have 170 separate installs of Wordpress to maintain, which would be yucky.
There's Wordpress MU, which is a multi-user version, but when I tried it a while back it wasn't ready for prime time.
